Victor Agosto and Travis Bishop: WAR RESISTERS

May 25, 2009
Killeen TX
I caught up with Victor Agosto and Travis Bishop at a peace action near Fort Hood. The march began at Under the Hood Cafe, which is a support resource for veterans that want to resist.

1. Thnx for putting this video out, to those who produced it, filmed it, ect... Victor Agosto nor Travis BIshop's names are not in the news as resisting this war. This is a story NOT to be covered by the mainstream media. To cover this story would give it credibility and offer vidication.

2. I'm unsure besides making a finacial donation what more could I do support these two soldiers who have shown a path of resistence opening the door for countless others to follow.

IN SOLIDARITY

oh you can also support "under the hood cafe" in killeen tx. they help alot of enlisted men and women that disagree with these illegal wars. they always need financial and other support too...

That's bull man your damned if you do and damned if you don't. Army bastards the way they treat good whole hearted people making the right decision not to KILL in the name of a false Government. Obama is a fake, his real name is Barry Sorenteno and he was born and school in Asia under muslim religion. and we're fighting His and Bush's asshole war for OIL and mineral resources. o

[roaringwaterbay]

yes, trusting the government is a mistake.

To thesepipes. "Killing woman and children are the norm" "they are fighting to steal oil" give me a break. You should be held responsible for being a traitor to your country. I've been over there twice, what about you. I know what It's like. Handing out humanitarian relief, rebuilding public swimming pools, going house to house to see if there's anything we could do for the neighborhood and so on. Oh, I almost forgot, killing a few insurgents who decided to shot at us for doing these things.

I have to disagree about the oil, it is kinda like saying that we went to Afghanistan because of the opium. If this where the case there would seem to be a lot better ways to do it and without the use of troops. Tryng to do a mental count of our bases near oil overseas;

Kuwait is the only big one that stands out. What other bases are you thinking of?

[thesepipesRclean]

I hope there are fixable thing in Iraq . I hope most soldiers have their heart in the right place , but yes it was always about oil and only about oil . It is no coincidence that there are USA military bases on top of 90% of the worlds oil reserves . Don't kid yourself , it is always about oil .

[Sporkmater]

Except it was never about the oil to begin with. Also it did not help that Iraq was a mess from the beginning due to the Iran Iraq war. But We are trying to fix things there.

Too true , nobody has threatened our right to protest since England before the Revolutionary War ! Yet , Republicans say thos soldiers are fighting for your right to protest . Ummm no , the Iraqis never tried to take that away did they ?
